Police secure closure order on Chichester flat after drug use and antisocial behaviour concerns
Sussex Police have secured a closure order on a Chichester flat due to ‘concerns over drug use and antisocial behaviour’.
The application for the closure at the flat in Lacy House, Stockbridge Road was heard at Brighton Magistrates’ Court on 9 October 2026 and was granted in full.
As a result, the address was closed on the same day as the court hearing and will remain closed for three months until January 2027.
Neighbourhood Policing Sergeant Amy Hickling said: “We have received numerous reports from concerns residents around drug use and antisocial behaviour, which has been blighting this community.
“We have listened and secured supporting evidence from residents and with this evidence a full closure order was secured for 3 months and can be extended.
“We want to make sure communities feel safe and protected. We take anti-social behaviour and criminality seriously and the neighbourhood policing team has completed a significant amount of work to secure this order by working with the residents affected.
“We would always encourage individuals to report anti-social behaviour, reports from the local community help to build a map of crime in localised areas, which assist when handling matters such as court closure orders, as well as our day-to-day patrols."
If anyone has any concerns or information about anti-social behaviour, report to police online or call 101. In an emergency call 999.
